Shifting Classes: Interactions with Industry and Gender Shifts in the 1980s
Data drawn from Population Census of Great Britain suggest that both the images of proletarianisation and upward shift of the class structure are over-generalised. Shift- share analysis is used for the period 1981-1991 to explore the complex interactions between changes in class composition within industrial sectors, change in the relative size of sectors and sex composition shifts (within classes, within sectors and within class/sector categorie…

Research to order: Dilemmas in the design and control of tenant satisfaction surveys
There is widespread use of consumer surveys in the welfare field, in particular in social housing, and yet there are considerable conceptual problems about the meaning of satisfaction and how it might be measured. Moreover, such surveys are typically motivated by purposes which conflict with one another and thereby threaten the validity of the research in respect of each or all of those purposes. The analysis draws on the author's experience of c…
A Marxist Critique of Weberian Class Analyses
Almost without exception, defenders and critics of the (Weberian) project of class analysis have denied the validity and utility of what they take to be Marxist conceptions of class. It is argued here that: first, the aims and structure of Marxist class analysis are quite different from those of Weberian class analysis; second, sociological contributions to the current debate have failed to address the most significant insights of Marxist class a…
Dilemmas in the Sociology Curriculum: The First Degree in British Universities
Four conferences, held in Britain in 1991/2, on particular specialisms in Sociology considered their place within the curriculum and how distinctions can be drawn between what is essential to a first degree in Sociology and what are optional elements. The research aim was to develop a qualitative understanding of the way particular specialisms within Sociology are constituted through teaching and fined into the overall curriculum. The conferences…

State, Capital and Labour: Changing Patterns of Power and Dependence
Dialectics and Class Analysis
The Search for Theory: Synthesis or Dissonance
It is misleading in itself to treat 'white-collar labour' as an undifferentiated category, and the overall expansion of the white- collar sector in the capitalist societies conceals differential rates of growth in various occupational sub-categories. Whereas the relatively early enlargement of the white-collar sector mainly concerned the growth of clerical and sales occupations, in neocapitalism those occupations usually grouped by census statist…
